4. we have twenty two
reasons of ‘whatever’ (for sure) you can bet that it is just as well.

5. Here are twenty two
lines filled up with our love.

6. You are twenty two right
after Election Day--

7. let’s hope they have a
man in the White House before

8. you hobble down the aisle at your own daughter's wedding, indeedy--if'n you will!9. Beyond what’s going
‘round in our country

10. over the top and down
the hill,

11. these 22 years what a
blessing they’ve been

12. to call you son

13. now

14. take your pill.

15. Here are 22 tokens of
affection

16. and twenty two
heap fulls of love, hope, and joy---

17. Dad and I sure do
regret not having 22 thousand dollars to buy you

18. a brand new toy.

19. Seriously son-you are
heaven

20. toil and a smile for
the day

21. thank you for being
the person you are--

22! (...a marvelous collection….of your idiosyncrasies…and
some pretty major 'brilliancies,' too—all your nuances that we savor; what a ‘wonder’ we find you…the ‘boy’ that we
love, on our couch with hair tousled—you grace us with your presence-do
stay.)
